As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re feeling extra grateful for our wonderful clients, residents, and vendors who make our South Bay community so special. This season is the perfect time to celebrate, give back, and prepare our homes for cooler days ahead.
🥧 Local Thanksgiving Delights
Looking for the perfect pie or side dish? Colossus Bakery in San Pedro is now taking pre-orders for their famous Thanksgiving pies and seasonal sides — ideal for your holiday table (and worth the short drive!).
Want to burn off that pumpkin pie? Lace up for the annual Torrance Turkey Trot, a fun local tradition that welcomes families, runners, and walkers alike.
You can also share the spirit of the season by helping others. Many South Bay organizations are hosting meal service and volunteer opportunities to feed neighbors in need. Check with local food banks or community centers for ways to lend a hand.
🔧 Winterizing Made Simple
Before winter sets in, take a few quick steps to keep your property cozy and safe:
• Replace heater filters and ensure pilot lights are lit.
• Test and install carbon monoxide detectors if needed.
• Locate your gas and water shut-off valves.
• Report any leaks or water intrusion immediately — whether from plumbing, rain, or roofing.
💛 A Simple Gratitude Practice
Try these three quick habits each day:
1. Write down one thing you’re thankful for.
2. Express appreciation to someone around you.
3. Pause for a mindful moment — even just one deep breath.
From all of us at Babcock, we wish you a warm, safe, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving season here in beautiful Southern California!
